Abstract

Disclosed a method of designing a watermark having the power spectral density optimized so that the detection performance can be improved by employing the whitening filtered detection after the Wiener attack. The power spectral density of the watermark is designed using an optimization method that can improve the entire detection performance by reflecting the gain of the whitening filter after the Wiener attack. A higher detection gain is obtained using the whitening filter after the Wiener attack, and the expected value of the difference between test statistics of the two hypotheses that the watermark exists and the watermark does not exist, respectively, is maximized to optimize the detection performance. Regarding the expected value of the difference between the test statistics as an objective function, the power spectral density of the watermark, which corresponds to a maximum differentiated value of the power spectral density of the watermark using the Lagrange multiplier method, is obtained.

Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • 1. Field of the Invention [0001]
  • The present invention relates to a watermark, and more particularly, to a method of designing a watermark having the power spectral density optimized so that the performance of detecting watermark can be improved by employing the whitening filtered detection after the Wiener attack. [0002]
  • 2. Background of the Related Art [0003]
  • Generally, digital media such as audio, image and video have been rapidly increased. Since such digital media products can be easily distributed, forged and copied, it is necessary to protect their copyrights. Digital watermarking has been appeared as a popular means for satisfying such necessity. A digital watermark is hidden information permanently remaining in a digital signal without being perceived by humans. This watermark has information related to an owner, distributor and receiver of the digital signal. When the owner of this digital type work is inquired, it can be recognized through the extraction of inserted information. [0004]
  • As a security means for strengthening the copyright, the watermark should not be perceivable by the human visual system, the human auditory system and so on. Thus, the energy of the watermark should be small enough so that the watermark cannot be perceived. Also, the watermark should be robust so as to resist intentional or unintentional attack. [0005]
  • The unintentional attack means a loss of information in common signal processing such as lossy compression, low-pass filtering, scaling, digital-to-analog or analog-to-digital conversion, resampling, etc. The intentional attack means a removal operation of the watermark within preserving the quality of the digital contents. [0006]
  • Meanwhile, an algorithm for embedding the watermark should be secure enough so that the embedded watermark cannot be removed even if the algorithm becomes known. That is, only the copyright holder can access the watermark. [0007]
  • The most important thing is that the copyright holder can be accurately discriminated by the watermark. [0008]
  • A well-known power spectrum condition is derived as a defense against the Wiener attack. The Wiener attack means estimation and extraction of the embedded watermark from the signal including the watermark for the purpose of obstructing the detection of the watermark. According to the power spectrum condition, the power spectral density of the watermark should be in proportion to the power spectral density of the original signal. This is because it is difficult to estimate the watermark from the signal including the watermark in case of conforming to the power spectrum condition. However, the power spectrum condition considers only the detection based on a correlation, but does not consider employing the whitening filter prior to the detection. [0009]
  • FIG. 1 is a graph illustrating the power spectral density of the watermark and the original signal according to a conventional method. [0010]
  • According to the conventional method, the power spectral density of the watermark is designed to be in proportion to the power spectral density of the original signal. This proportion of the power spectral densities makes the estimation of the watermark due to an invasion and so on difficult. However, in the conventional watermark design, the whitening filter is not considered. [0011]
  • Meanwhile, in an article by Jonathan K. Su and Bernd Girod, entitled “On the Robustness and Imperceptibility of Digital Fingerprints”, Proc. IEEE Conf. on Multimedia Computing and Systems, pp. 530-535, vol. 2, June 1999, it is described that in most digital watermarking applications, the most preferable characteristics are robustness and imperceptibility. This article shows a theoretical analysis of the watermarking. Here, an attacker estimates the watermark using the Wiener filter. [0012]
  • The robustness and the imperceptibility of the watermark can be represented by an L2 efficiency, which indicates the energy of the watermark that the attacker can remove. The article shows that the power spectrum condition should be satisfied for the maximum L2 efficiency. That is, the power spectrum of the watermark should be the one obtained by reducing the power spectrum of the original signal in a specified ratio. A watermark that satisfies the power spectrum condition is the most efficient one among the watermarks independent from the original signal. In the analysis of one-dimensional and two-dimensional signal models and experiments using actual images, the watermark that satisfies the power spectrum condition shows an excellent performance. [0013]
  • Also, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,848,155, entitled “Spread Spectrum Watermark for Embedded Signaling”, a watermark is embedded into audio, video and image multimedia data using spread spectrum methodology. This patent overcomes the limitations of the prior systems using a spread spectrum watermarking method that embeds a watermark or certain information into perceptually significant regions of an image. Specifically, according to this patent, the watermark can be extracted from the watermarked data without using the original data. The preferred method of watermarking extraction is to use a spatial or temporal local average of the frequency coefficients of the watermarked data to determine the watermark. For instance, the frequency coefficients of a two-dimensional neighborhood in two-dimensional watermarked data, i.e., an image, are analyzed to reproduce the entire watermark. This is possible since the watermark is embedded into the data using spread spectrum technology that spreads the watermark throughout the data. [0014]
  • Meanwhile, the Wiener attack means to estimate the watermark using the Wiener filter and to obstruct the detection by subtracting the estimated watermark from the watermarked data. The robustness and the imperceptibility of the watermark can be measured by the energy of the estimated watermark that can be removed by the Wiener attack. Regarding the energy of the estimated watermark, the most efficient watermark should satisfy the power spectrum condition. That is, the power spectrum of the watermark is obtained by reducing the power spectrum of the original signal in a specified ratio. In case of using the matched filter only, the power spectrum condition compliant watermark shows the optimal performance against the Wiener attack. However, in case of employing the whitening filter prior to the detection, the whitening filter provides no gain for the power spectrum compliant watermark. [0015]
  • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • Accordingly, the present invention is directed to a method of designing a watermark in consideration of the Wiener attack and the whitening filtered detection that substantially obviates one or more problems due to the limitations and the drawbacks of the related art. The present invention is for designing the power spectral density of the watermark using an optimization method so that the entire performance of the detection can be improved by reflecting the gain of the whitening filter after the Wiener attack. [0016]
  • Also, the present invention is for obtaining a higher detection gain using the whitening filter after the Wiener attack, and maximizing the expected value of the difference between the test statistics of the hypotheses that the watermark exists and the watermark does not exist, respectively, to optimize the detection performance. Specifically, regarding the expected value of the difference between the test statistics as an objective function, the power spectral density of the watermark, which corresponds to a maximum differentiated value of the power spectral density of the watermark using the Lagrange multiplier method, is obtained. Here, the energy of the watermark is given as a condition, so the scale factor of the watermark can be adjusted to match the energy. [0017]

  • FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a terminal that can perform watermarking in consideration of the whitening filtered detection according to the present invention. [0036]
  • The terminal is provided with a [0037] central processing unit 11, a main memory 12 connected to the central processing unit 11, an auxiliary memory 13 connected to the main memory 12, and input and output devices 10 and 14 connected to the central processing unit 11.
  • The [0038] central processing unit 11 controls and manages the whole operation of the terminal, and the main memory 12 and the auxiliary memory 13 store programs to be performed by the central processing unit 11 and various kinds of data used or produced during the operation of the terminal. The input device 10 and the output device are for data input/output with a user.
  • The [0039] auxiliary memory 13 serves to store a large capacity of data. The input device 10 includes user input means such as a general keyboard, mouse, tablet, touch screen, etc, and the output device 14 includes a display, printer, video recorder, etc.
  • In detecting the watermark, the original signal (i.e., an image, audio, etc.) is considered as a noise, and generally has a colored power spectrum. [0040]
  • Accordingly, by applying the whitening filter to the watermark detection operation, the detection performance can be greatly improved. If the power spectral density of the watermark is equal to the power spectral density of the original signal when using the whitening filter, the gain of the whitening filter becomes 1, and the detection performance doesn't improve although the watermark can resist quite effectively the Wiener attack. On the contrary, when the power spectral density of the watermark is different from the power spectral density of the original signal, the watermark can be removed by the Wiener attack. In spite of that, the detection performance does improve because the gain of the whitening filter increases. [0041]
  • As described above, the present invention is for designing a watermark that is robust to the Wiener attack, considers the gain of the whitening filter, and thus has an improved detection performance. [0042]
  • In order for the watermark according to the present invention to be robust to the Wiener attack and to show an improved performance in the whitening filtered detection, a new modified condition according to the present invention should be satisfied instead of the conventional power spectrum condition (PSC). [0043]
  • The watermark w[n] of the present invention is a N -dimensional wide-sense stationary (WSS) Gaussian random process with zero mean, and variance σ[0044] w 2, and interacts with variables such as the power spectral density Φw(Ω).
  • In the same manner, the original signal x[n] has variance σ[0045] x 2 and a power spectral density Φx(Ω). Meanwhile, Ω is a frequency within the range of [−π,π).
  • The embedding of the watermark is performed as follows.[0046]
  • y[n]=x[n]+w[n]  (1)
  • In the equation (1), the embedding of the watermark is performed in a manner that the watermark signal w[n] is added to the original signal x[n]. [0047]
  • In many cases, a receiver detects the watermark by calculating a correlation. [0048]
  • Here, from a viewpoint of the watermark w[n], the original signal x[n] is considered as a colored noise, and the detection performance is greatly improved by the whitening filter. [0049]
  • Meanwhile, in order to decide a Neyman-Pearson detector, and a likelihood ratio test (LRT) is decided by the following equations. Distribution of respective hypotheses are given by [0050] p ( y ; H 1 ) = 1 ( 2 π ) N 2 det 1 2 ( R x ) exp [ - 1 2 ( y - w ) T R x - 1 ( y - w ) ] , H 1 ; y N ( w , R x ) p ( y ; H 0 ) = 1 ( 2 π ) N 2 det 1 2 ( R x ) exp [ - 1 2 y T R x - 1 y ] , H 1 ; y N ( 0 , R x )
    Figure US20040001607A1-20040101-M00004
  • At this time, R[0051] x is the covariance matrix of the original signal x[n].
  • Meanwhile, decision of the test statistics by applying LRT in the hypotheses having the distribution of the above two equations is given by the following equation. [0052]
  • If [0053] T ( y ) = y T R x - 1 w > η ,
    Figure US20040001607A1-20040101-M00005
  • is selected H[0054] 1.
  • Here, η is the detection threshold, and is decided by selection. [0055]
  • In the above equation, if T(y) is larger than the detection threshold η, H[0056] 1 is selected.
  • Meanwhile, the Wiener attack and the power spectrum condition (PSC) will be explained. [0057]
  • The Wiener attack is the removal of the estimated watermark, where the estimation is performed from the watermarked signal, in order to prevent the detection of the watermark. [0058]
  • The attacked signal is given by[0059]
  • ŷ[n]=y[n]−γŵ[n]=y[n]−γh[n]*y[n].
  • In this equation, h[n] is the impulse response of the Wiener filter, and γ(≧0) is a scalar gain factor. [0060]
  • As is known, a conversion function H(Ω) is given by [0061] H ( Ω ) = Φ wy ( Ω ) Φ yy ( Ω ) = Φ ww ( Ω ) Φ xx ( Ω ) + Φ ww ( Ω ) .
    Figure US20040001607A1-20040101-M00006
  • In order for the watermark to be robust against the Wiener attack, the estimation of the watermark should necessarily be difficult. [0062]
  • To make the estimation of the watermark difficult, we should maximize the MSE E=E[(w(n)−ŵ(n))[0063] 2], and this condition is called the power spectrum condition (PSC). Also, the power spectral density of the watermark is given by the following equation. Φ w ( Ω ) = σ w 2 σ x 2 Φ x ( Ω ) .
    Figure US20040001607A1-20040101-M00007
  • This equation means that the power spectral density of the watermark should be in proportion to the power spectral density of the original signal. [0064]
  • As described above, however, in case of the watermark that satisfies the power spectrum condition (PSC), there is no detection gain of the whitening filter, and thus the detection performance is poor in comparison to the white noise watermark. [0065]
  • On the contrary, if the power spectral density is different from the power spectral density of the original signal, the detection performance of the whitening filter improves, but the Wiener attack considerably removes the watermark from the received signal. Accordingly, the present invention provides a watermark designing method that satisfies the two conditions. [0066]
  • FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating the Wiener attack and the whitening filter. [0067]
  • y[n] denotes a received signal including the watermark w[n] and the original signal x[n], g[n] the impulse response of the whitening filter after the Wiener attack, and w[n] the watermark signal. A correlation detector performs a detection based on correlation between the two signals. After the Wiener attack, the signal passes through the whitening filter g[n], and then existence/nonexistence of the watermark is finally discriminated through the correlation detector. [0068]
  • The optimum watermark designing in consideration of the whitening filter according to the present invention first maximizes the following equation.[0069]
  • E[T 1(y)−T 0(y)]  (2)
  • The test statistics of the two hypotheses are as follows. [0070] T 1 ( y ) = ( x + w - h * ( x + w ) ) T R x - 1 w ( 3 ) T 0 ( y ) = ( x - h * x ) T R x - 1 w ( 4 )
    Figure US20040001607A1-20040101-M00008
  • In the equations (2) and (3), if the spectrums of the test statistics existing in the respective hypotheses are sufficiently separated, the detection performance is improved. [0071]
  • Meanwhile, the difference between the test statistics is calculated by [0072] T 1 ( y ) - T 0 ( y ) = ( w - h * w ) T R x - 1 w ( 5 )
    Figure US20040001607A1-20040101-M00009
  • In the equation (5), if the expected value is taken on the right and the left hand side of the equation on condition that h*w=w′, the following equation is obtained. [0073] E [ T 1 ( y ) - T 0 ( y ) ] = E [ w T R x - 1 w ] - E [ w T R x - 1 w .
    Figure US20040001607A1-20040101-M00010
  • From the above equation are obtained [0074] E [ w ( n ) T R x - 1 w ( n ) ] = 1 2 π - π π Φ w ( Ω ) Φ x ( Ω ) Ω , and E [ w ( n ) T R x - 1 w ( n ) ] = 1 2 π - π π H ( Ω ) Φ w ( Ω ) Φ x ( Ω ) Ω .
    Figure US20040001607A1-20040101-M00011
  • Accordingly, the result of the difference between the test statistics is given by [0075] E = 1 2 π - π π Φ w ( Ω ) - H ( Ω ) Φ w ( Ω ) Φ x ( Ω ) Ω = 1 2 π - π π Φ w ( Ω ) Φ w ( Ω ) + Φ x Ω Ω ,
    Figure US20040001607A1-20040101-M00012
  • and thus [0076] 1 2 π - π π Φ w ( Ω ) Ω = σ w 2 .
    Figure US20040001607A1-20040101-M00013
  • Consequently, maximizing the equation (2) is to design the watermark that maximizes the following equation as described above. [0077] 1 2 π - π π Φ w ( Ω ) Φ x ( Ω ) + Φ w Ω Ω ( 6 )
    Figure US20040001607A1-20040101-M00014
  • That is, the watermark is designed so as to maximize the power spectral density Φ[0078] x(Ω) of the original signal and the power spectral density Φw(Ω) of the watermark in the frequency range of [−π,π).
  • In order to maximize the equation (6), the power spectral density of the watermark is first extracted using the Lagrange multiplier method. [0079]
  • The Lagrangian value J is defined by the following equation. [0080] J = 1 2 π - π π [ Φ w ( Ω ) Φ w ( Ω ) + Φ x Ω + λΦ w ( Ω ) ] Ω .
    Figure US20040001607A1-20040101-M00015
  • At this time, g(Φ[0081] w(Ω)) is an integrand.
  • Accordingly, using J, the maximum value can be obtained on the condition given by the following equation. [0082] g Φ w = Φ x ( Ω ) ( Φ x ( Ω ) + Φ w ( Ω ) ) 2 + λ = 0.
    Figure US20040001607A1-20040101-M00016
  • Consequently, the power spectral density of the watermark can be obtained by the following equation. [0083] Φ w ( Ω ) = - Φ x ( Ω ) + Φ x ( Ω ) - λ ( 7 )
    Figure US20040001607A1-20040101-M00017
  • The power spectral density Φ[0084] w(Ω) of the watermark should be a positive real number. The power spectral density having a negative value is removed.
  • In the equation (7), by substituting the power spectral density Φ[0085] w(Ω) of the watermark for the power constraint 1 2 π - π π Φ w ( Ω ) Ω = σ w 2 ,
    Figure US20040001607A1-20040101-M00018
  • the following equation is obtained. [0086] σ w 2 = - σ x 2 + 1 2 π - λ - π π Φ x ( Ω ) Ω .
    Figure US20040001607A1-20040101-M00019
  • Accordingly, [0087] λ = - ( - π π Φ x ( Ω ) Ω 2 π ( σ w 2 + σ x 2 ) ) 2 .
    Figure US20040001607A1-20040101-M00020
  • By substituting this result in the equation (7), the optimized power spectral density of the watermark can be obtained using the Lagrange multiplier method. [0088] Φ w ( Ω ) = - Φ x ( Ω ) + Φ x ( Ω ) 1 2 π - π π Φ x ( Ω ) Ω ( σ x 2 + σ w 2 ) ( 8 )
    Figure US20040001607A1-20040101-M00021
  • That is, the optimum method of designing the watermark, which is robust against the Wiener attack and has an excellent detection performance even when the whitening filter is used, should satisfy the equation (8). [0089]
  • The above equation (8) shows the power spectral density of the designed watermark w[n], and indicates that the power spectral density Φ[0090] w(Ω) of the watermark is not in proportion to the power spectral density Φx(Ω) of the original signal. Also, the equation (8) represents a convex curve. If {square root}{square root over (Φx(Ω))} is too large, the power spectral density Φw(Ω) of the watermark is reduced on the contrary, and thus if the large power spectral density Φw(Ω) of the watermark is in proportion to the power spectral density Φx(Ω) of the original signal, the operating efficiency is not good.
  • Since the power spectral density Φ[0091] w(Ω) of the watermark is always positive, the following condition can be obtained. σ w 2 Φ x ( Ω ) 2 π - π π Φ x ( Ω ) Ω - σ x 2 ( 9 )
    Figure US20040001607A1-20040101-M00022
  • If the designed watermark does not satisfy the above condition, the optimum watermark cannot be obtained. [0092]
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 are graphs of compared performances of the white noise watermark, the watermark satisfying the PSC, and the watermark provided by the designing method according to the present invention when the watermark document ratio (WDR)=−20 dB and WDR=−30 dB, respectively. In FIGS. 4 and 5, the optimum watermark corresponds to the watermark according to the present invention. [0093]
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate the receiver operating characteristics, and show the relation between a probability of false alarm and a normal probability of detection. Under the same probability of false alarm, the performance becomes better as the probability of detection becomes higher. A better performance is shown under the ratio of the watermark to the original signal of −20 dB and −30 dB. As shown in the drawings, the WDR of the watermark designed by the optimization method between −20 dB and −30 dB represents an improved detection performance. [0094]
  • FIG. 6 is a graph of a power spectral density Φ[0095] x(Ω) of the original signal, and FIG. 7 is a graph of a power spectral density Φw(Ω) of the watermark according to the present invention.
  • Generally, for a better detection through the whitening filter, the power spectral density of the watermark should be in high-frequency regions. However, as shown in FIG. 7, even if the power spectral density of the watermark is concentrated in low-frequency regions, a good detection performance is shown after the whitening filtering. [0096]
  • As described above, the watermark having the optimum condition according to the present invention is obtained by the following equation. [0097] T = σ x 2 + σ w 2 - Φ x ( Ω ) 2 π - π π Φ x ( Ω ) Ω 0 ( 10 )
    Figure US20040001607A1-20040101-M00023
  • In the above equation, T is the optimized test statistics. [0098]
  • FIG. 8 illustrates the watermark according to the present invention showing the optimum result. There is not a great difference between the power spectral density of the watermark designed according to the present invention and the power spectral density of the original signal, but the performance of the whitening filtered detection improves. [0099]
  • As described above, the watermark designed according to the present invention shows an improved detection performance in a detection environment using the whitening filter after the Wiener attack. [0100]
  • If the power spectral density of the watermark is identical to the power spectral density of the original signal, the gain of the whitening filter becomes 1, and thus the detection performance is not improved. Also, if the power spectral density of the watermark is opposite to the power spectral density of the original signal, the watermark is easily removed by the Wiener attack even if the whitening filter has any gain, and this deteriorates the detection performance of the whitening filter. On the contrary, according to the present invention, the detection performance is improved using the watermark having the optimized power spectral density in consideration of both the Wiener attack and the whitening filter. [0101]
  • While the present invention has been described illustrated herein with reference to the preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made to the invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, which is defined in the appended claims.
